Cons

Not located near the beach

Kitchen appliances are dated

Bottom Line

MainStay Suites in Pensacola offers very spacious apartment-style suites with complete kitchens and working fireplaces. Classic and clean suites have flat-screen TVs, separate living space, and work desks. While appliances in the kitchen could use an update, this hotel does have an outdoor grilling area that allows guests to barbecue. Beyond generous space, this hotel's best feature is its big outdoor pool with Jacuzzi and lounge chairs. While some guests complain that the hotel is far from the beach, this is a good pick for extended-stay travelers, and pets are welcome, too.

Oyster Hotel Review

MainStay Suites is located by major interstate highway connections, making driving to downtown Pensacola and to local beaches quick and easy. It is also close to grocery stores and restaurants. Pensacola is located in the Florida Panhandle, an area also called Florida's Emerald Coast. This part of the state is known for its beautiful beaches stretching hundreds of miles along the Gulf of Mexico.
